How To Use Redo Shortcut on Windows, Mac & Mobile
Reviewed by Huzaifa Haroon- Undo and redo commands are critical for reversing or reapplying recent actions in most applications, enhancing efficiency.
- Redo shortcuts: Windows (Ctrl + Y), Mac (Command + Shift + Z), and mobile apps via on-screen buttons or gestures.
- Popular apps with redo functionality include Microsoft Office, Google Apps, Adobe products, and more, accessible through various shortcuts and tools depending on the device.
The redo shortcut in Windows is supported by almost all applications, including the Microsoft Office Suite, Google Apps, etc. Users can simply press the Ctrl + Y keys on their keyboard to invoke the redo shortcut. This command will instantly re-apply the most recent action.
How to Use Redo Shortcut on Mac
The redo shortcut for Mac is slightly different from Windows and works on most native and third-party applications. To redo the last undone action, users can press Command + Shift + Z keys on their keyboard.
For instance, if you accidentally performed an action and pressed the undo command, pressing Command + Shift + Z keys will restore the deleted sentence in the Apple Keynote app. This is just one of the many examples where the redo shortcut can help save your time and energy in re-performing certain actions.
How to Use Redo Shortcut on Mobile (iOS and Android)
For iOS and Android users, the redo shortcut varies depending on the app you’re using. However, the applications that support the redo command do so via on-screen buttons or gestures.
iOS users can utilize the redo functionality by shaking their device in certain apps, which brings up the undo and redo dialog. Other apps have a toolbar with a redo button. In contrast, Android applications mostly have the redo button in their toolbar. Simply tapping on the ‘arrow curving to the right button’ allows users to redo their undone action.
Having a solid understanding of the undo and redo functions can help you enhance your work quality while saving time. With these commands incorporated into various applications, you can easily streamline your workflow in any digital environment.
